    S13 Brake upgrade

    Been having a look through the forum regarding brake upgrades for the S13 and cant seem to find much in the way of a list of compatible parts.

    Could someone either point me in the right direction, or let me know whats a good set up to chuck onto a 13 running around 350ish bhp!

    Thanks

    The most cost effective in my opinion is front 350z brembo and z32 rear sumitomo. Cheap discs cheap pads etc.
    I assume you've got the 5 lug conversion?

    If not you can just get discs redrilled to 4 stud I guess, which opens up all the normal S14/15 options such as 350z brembos as m17ch said, or R34 GTR brembos, think both require the existing mount holes to be bored out though 12->14mm from memory. R33 GTR brembos are bolt on, S14/15/Z32 4 pots are a reasonable upgrade too. If going for big calipers consider swapping master cylinder out for a skyline or Z32 one too.

    I’ve just fitted a full R33 GTST brake setup and that’s completely bolt on no adapting at all

    If you change to bigger calipers it definatly helps the pedal length & feel if you change your brake master cylinder too.

    Check Useful Threads top of S13 tech. There's all the brake sizes and types across other Nissan models listed in there somewhere.
